The x100's HPV card & the AV card can also do that trick, even under 8.6. At
least they could with an Apple Color Plus monitor, which is fixed-res at
640x480 -- *and* 512x384 as well. They couldn't with an NEC multisync
monitor.
I also have a 7200, & I can confirm that it won't do 1 or 4-bit for love or
money under any OS. Nether will the HPV card, but the AV card (& the x100
built-in video.)
Some SuperMac (& Apple) Nubus video cards can do millions of colors, but
they won't do thousands. Go figure...

I wonder if it can run a 12" RGB? Anybody tried?
I'd bet anything with a 3-row HD-15 VGA connector probably won't.
